Tribute messages in chalk left for the people of Belgium

Hundreds of messages written in chalk have been left at Place de la Bourse in Brussels

Hundreds of messages of support for the people of Brussels have been chalked across the Place de la Bourse in centre of the city.

The tributes come after several attacks in the city on March 22, which left more than 30 people dead and many more injured.

As well as the chalk messages, which are written in many different languages of the world, flags have been displayed and flowers left.

At night the square is lit up by candles brought by people paying tribute to the victims of the attacks.

Many of the tributes have made a link between this attack and one in Paris last year. Here a hashtag that was originally used by those standing by the people of Paris, has been amended to say "I am Brussels".
